Whatever name you come up with - make sure you register it (I use GoDaddy.com , use whatever you like so long as it is registered in YOUR name under YOUR account) and make sure you do this before you let people know what you're gonna call it

The use of hyphens is more SEO-friendly from my experience but that is a cool-beans name in my opinion (and it ends in two SEO words to boot!)

how about stormcrow-hammock-gear.com?

The bad thing about dashes is that people don't remember them. If the domain is WonderMonkey-Cheap-Gear.com people will type in WonderMonkeyCheapGear.com when they are trying to remember. Also if you TELL someone the domain and they try to remember it they won't remember the dashes. Probably.

Is this a contest? How about "stormcrowshammockgear.com"?

I see a contest on the horizon...maybe not for a company name since the party in question is currently a member here at HF.

Wow Adam. I have a feeling you're being very PC in your description of the situation. Good on you for taking the high road. I bet things will work out for the better with the next page.

LOL Dutch! I didn't realize this was Kick a Ginger week!

Trust me it is easier for me to take the high road now...almost 24hours later than it was for the first half of this VERY long day. I have pages and pages of replies ranging from sad to comical to downright childish...I went with as civilized as I could muster. I think i did pretty good considering I am in fact a true blooded Ginger with most of the stereotypes included.....plus it is kick a Ginger week so that is not helping..

I am sure that you will be fine. Take a deep breath, count to ten, and then BEAT THE *%)^%$* OUT OF SOMETHING! It usually works for me.

That got an audible chuckle out of me. Thanks pedro. I passed that phase a little while back....when I was not able to beat on anything since it was 3am and sleeping kids were close....

I decided to do the next best thing and I just closed my eyes and went back to a beautiful morning on Hawks Bill.....It was quite effective!

Sorry to hear abbout the set back Adam, Your gear is so good though it pratically will sell it self. Hope this dosent set ya back to much and you of course can use my testimonial again in your new website.

Thanks for that. You guys are just amazing. There are a few of you that I am going to make it a point to hang with in the coming year...no matter what!

If you need some temporary help please let me know.

I know that you truly mean that too WM. Much appreciated!

That sounds down right appealing to me!

You guys are just suckers for a good contest aren't you! I see I have some resources I have yet to tap!

Man that sucks, but there is plenty of names that will work and your rep follows you know matter what the name is.

I think you are right. We are looking at a few right now. It is down right amazing how many names get bought up by these domain brokers....sheesh.

That does stink!

Here's another idea for the Website name keeping it with your sig gear:

The Crows Nest Hammock Gear

Thanks Raul. I like that one too. Decisions decisions....

Sorry to hear about that Adam. I hope thing get worked out quickly.

(In my best italian accent) You'z wants that I should have.... words wit dis fella?

LOL...I think things are going to be ok. To be honest he ended up shooting himself in the foot after all....

[Cranky Bear]

Adam no matter what I am still getting my quilts from you, as your stuff is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you get everything worked out and with a lot less headaches!?!?!?!

[Frawg]

'nuther side note, Adam -- might want to edit your sig block during the transition.

Thanks Xex. and MUCHO thanks for the pms. Lesson learned regarding domain registration....it was a little more involved than just not registering it but I dont want to make myself look too dumb on a public forum....

Thank you my amphibian loving friend. I will check them out!

I like "crow's_nest_hammock_gear"

it certainly has a ring to it!

The use of hyphens is more SEO-friendly from my experience but that is a cool-beans name in my opinion (and it ends in two SEO words to boot!)

how about stormcrow-hammock-gear.com?

One thing I have found with Stormcrow is that it is not always easy to remember. When I was doing some long sections of the AT I had to tell people again and again what my name was...I am hoping to keep it simple. We will see though....

(shaking head)... some people: Your stuff:

True business! (inside joke)

The bad thing about dashes is that people don't remember them. If the domain is WonderMonkey-Cheap-Gear.com people will type in WonderMonkeyCheapGear.com when they are trying to remember. Also if you TELL someone the domain and they try to remember it they won't remember the dashes. Probably.

I too have found that to be the case..
